PROJECT CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL
STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT'S REQUIREMENTS, PROPOSED WORK, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER FACETS OF THE PARK PROGRAM. (Provide detail data for "Management Information" on Form 10-411a, Supplemental Sheet and attach.)
Restoration of the Norris Soldier Station, including structural repairs, and the extraordinary professional supervision necessary in rehabilitation and restoration of an historic structure. The Soldier Station building is 23 x 67 feet with a wing 16 x 36 ft; floor area 1,877 sq. ft. and volume of 16,928 cu. ft.
Soldier Station building is a log frame on a concrete foundation, lumber finished and with a wood-shingle roof.
Its restoration is necessary to preserve the last unaltered Soldier Station, and to furnish it and provide for a meaningful interpretation of the structure and the Army Patrol system in Yellowstone National Park, as it was 1909-1918. See, "Report on Historical Structures at Yellowstone National Park," by Ray H. Mattison, September 1960; and, "Historic Structures Report - Norris Soldier Station," by Aubrey L.
